Etika is an iron helical staircase, born from the desire to create a sinuous and sculptural architectural element. The idea was born from a daring mixture of new and antique knowledge: architecture, working metals, design and artisanship. This vortex of innovation and tradition finds itself in this helical form and in the choice of materials.
Transforming intuition into a functional object, this is Etika.
Art and creativity have to follow precise architectural and functional parameters. The complexity of realising this is due to the characteristics of the metal: hard to work, strong and resistant once forged, versatile and fascinating in its essence.
Design is fundamental for developing new projects and idea and for elaborating creative proposals, which, thanks to graphic representation, take form and find possible means of execution. Starting with hand drawings is important for a successful experimental project, in which the flexure and stability of the different elements have to combine with the aesthetics of an unusual helical structure.
